Parts taken from an article in the Daily Mail, by Adrian Thrills-

...And, while there are reservations, Bowie's loud-and-direct approach is largely a success. Reality is his most passionate offering in years. It features several tracks - including forthcoming single New Killer Star and the Stonesy Looking For Water - which could become Bowie standards.

...But from the opening chords of New Killer Star, it is clear that it is Bowie the rock 'n' roller we are dealing with. Upbeat and guitar-driven, the song gets the album off to a forceful start. Never Get Old, another potential single, maintains the rocking mood with its soaring harmonies, guitars and a churning backdrop which recalls I Am The Walrus, one of several occasions when Bowie drops in a fond reference to The Beatles.

...Reality finds Bowie with a renewed sense of purpose. 'I'm searching for the optimistic things in my life,' he says on the notes that accompany the album. 'And that's generated by being a father again. Maybe if I didn't have my three-year-old daughter running around, I wouldn't be writing this way.'

YEEEE!!! And you guys get to put up with me until then!!!

Weird cover image! But at least it's not another "Best of". How many of them are there around? *lost count*
Looking forward to hear something from this new album

I always thought his music was rather terrible. But of course thats just my opinion. Hes got tons of hardcore fans and alot of people who dress up like him (Sincerist form of flattery, or so they say) . I just never bought into that male feminimity* stuff. Its still good to see the classics keeping thier music alive. Sometimes id prefer just about any older band/preformer to some of the pop/rap garbage thats being produced nowadays . Anyway im sorry If i offended anyone im sure David Bowies is extreemly talented, I mean to be considered an icon i suppose youd have to be. its just not my style

[Gadzoox]

Oh I'm not offended in the least! Not everyone has to like everything I do! What a predicatble and annoying world that'd be! I'm glad others have their own opinions.

I could get started on a rant about how everyone always has to watch what they say so they don't offend someone nowadays; but I wont!

I sure know what you mean about 'today's' music! Blech!!

Hee, yeah it's pretty bad how many 'Best of's' are out there, I mean, it's all the same songs!!!

[kupoartist]

I have a passing interest in Bowie. Some of his music is... well, some of the best in existence: the problem is the 26 Albums. I'd not buy his albums because I'd have no idea where to start!

Its pretty amazing that he's still around after all these years. That takes some considerable talent for sure, and few could actually claim to have been around as long as him (erm... Tom Jones, Cliff Richard... and they're hardly making quality music nowadays... though Cliff hasn't really ever made anything good anyway ).

Oh and he's British isn't he. See, some good things do come out of this place!

I have the same problem with Bowie. I only own 4 or 5 albums and honestly I don't like all the songs contained in them, still the ones I like are among my faves ever. For someone who doesn't own any of his albums, getting just one to start listening to his music is very difficult and confusing. I'm interested in listening to the new songs though. I'll wait to hear more about this new album

I agree. But there have been people on these forums who get VERY upset when you disagree with them about something they really love. Be it a musician, video game, whatever. Notice my little disclaimer after my banner. That comes from a few bad experiences (Some of which were my fault)

[Berserker]

Don't know all of his work, but I like his old stuff better the ziggy stardust songs are wonderfully weird. My girl is mad about Bowie, that's why I bought two tickets to go see Bowie in Octobre. I'm looking forward to that( even though I'm not a big fan), it's always nice to see a legend/grandmaster at work.

I knew that, and I'm looking forward to it, since I own many (but not all) Bowie's albums and some of them are albums I really love.

[Pu the Owl]

With artists like Bowie, the number of released albums is a great problem, especially for newbies, I agree. I sometimes find myself buying albums I don't like much, just for a couple of songs, just because I don't have a precise idea (and I find boring listening to dozens of mp3 files before deciding: this way all the excitement for the purchase is lost). Bowie himself has a huge number of very famous tunes and usually people decide to get one of his albums following the knowledge they have of these famous tunes/songs, but sometimes this strategy doesn't work

MY GAWD!!!! You lucky lucky LUCY person!!!!! I hope he comes to Ottawa... hopehopehope!

Vicious, I know exactly what you mean, and it bus me that some people are SO uptight about somethings like that. I get angry just thinking about it! I'd better stop before I offend someone though.

And yeah, I know what you all mean about the number of albums by one artist, it's hard for someone to pick just one to buy, especially if there's only a couple tracks you like... I figure that's why they have 'Best Of's' around, put all of the classics on one CD and make it easier for that.
